The lighthouse is a great spot to view seabirds (and the changing weather).
I took a brief break from work to get some lunch and take the camera for a walk this afternoon. Left home in bright sunshine but, unfortunately, Victoria's reliably fickle coastal weather struck and by the time I got there (10 mins drive) heavy dark cloud had come in creating an eerie light and the promise of yet more precipitation.

Before it started to rain I managed to see one Shy Albatross skimming the waves about 500m offshore

...precipitation promise fulfilled so ran back to car, grabbed lunch and back to work...shortest birding "trip" for the year - about 12 minutes out of the car...at least the office is warm and dry ;-)

Apologies for the inconvenience but I have had to turn on word verification to avoid spam (I was getting 10-20 a week)
